Amavis-Postfix-Dovecot-error: private/smtp-amavis: No such file or directory

[Jeppe Bundsgaard]

Hello,

I get the following two errors in my mail.log:

This one when trying to send mail out:
> Oct 29 04:36:11 sp2427c postfix/qmgr[5139]: warning: connect totransport private/smtp-amavis: No such file or directory

There is no file smtp-amavis in /var/spool/postfix/private - only an
"amavis"

This one when receiving mail:
> Oct 29 04:36:11 sp2427c postfix/error[6185]: EA5359B208C:to=<na...@example.dk>, relay=none, delay=2179, delays=2179/0.01/0/0.06,
dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)

I am using Dovecot
In my maildir: /var/mail/virtual/ the files are owned by vmail:mail with
0770-permissions.

Can you help me? Thanks in advance.

Next time show "postconf -n" as requested in the welcome message.

Review your RBLs. easynet has been off-line for years, and you
should use the newer zen.spamhaus.org instead of sbl. I think njabl
still works, but you should check that too.

Don't just copy RBLs from some random 10 year old sample config.

Your main.cf says to use "smtp-amavis", but master.cf uses "amavis".
These need to match.

Sorry, I have posted it below.

You are right - it was left over (or rather bring over) from my old
server - I should have checked that. dnsbl.njabl.org is still active as
far as I can see.

Thanks Noel! So simple - only not to me, apparently... Now I can send
mail again

I still have the other problem with "mail transport unavailable", which
means my users cannot receive mail. Can you point me in some direction?

When postfix flush I get a lot of these:
Oct 29 08:18:16 sp2427c postfix/error[12765]: 40CBA9B207F:
to=<us...@domain.net>, relay=none, delay=16531, delays=16530/0.26/0/0.06,

dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)

Is it a file permission issue? Here are what I would expect relevant
users, groups and permissions:

Probably mail queued with the wrong content_filter name on it.
Details are in an earlier log message.

To fix, requeue the mail with
postsuper -r ALL
